“And she struck twice upon his neck, and out off his head, and took off his canopy from the pillars, and rolled away his headless body.”
On this verse:
“Canopy, to convince all that it was the head of Holofernes. (Menochius) — Body, on the ground; (chap. xiv. 14.) perhaps to cut off the head more easily, (Calmet) and that it might appear more ghastly (Haydock) at the first entrance. (Tirinus)”
